But even if you’re not an extrovert, even if you’re not the funniest person in your friend group (listen, I’ve been there), you can still thrive at a PowerPoint party.
Remember how I said the most important ingredient is just the willingness and desire to participate? I meant it. You don’t have to be incredibly funny, witty, ridiculously charismatic, or beautiful (though, of course, when has that ever hurt?).
You just need to want to do it. And if you’re with the right people – none of that toxic group energy here – everyone will give you their full attention and join in the fun.
At the party I hosted, one of my close introverted friends, who usually refuses to elaborate on anything in a group setting larger than two people (yes, really), was the one who ended up giving a whole presentation on what would happen if our friend group were thrown into The Hunger Games. She inadvertently roasted and lifted each of us in the same breath. It was glorious.
These parties are also wildly versatile. There’s no end to the types of topics you can present. Most friend groups use them as a way to catch up after not seeing each other in ages, which is why you’ll often find presentations about love lives (or lack thereof), career updates, and other life milestones. But if that’s not your vibe, no worries.
Your topic can be anything. Like which Singapore neighbourhoods are the most overrated and why is it always somewhere in the East, which Mediacorp show deserves a rerun, or how to survive Singapore’s erratic weather without aircon.
It’s all about presenting on whatever you think is fun, weird, or important, even if it’s only important to you.
